Last fall I left my old Palm Pre and decided to go with the Samsung Epic on the Sprint network. Interestingly enough, the "Epic" is known as the Galaxy on other networks.

So, it is with some excitement that I tell you that the next generation of this phone will hit the US in August. No idea of who it will be available from and no idea on costs, but if you are thinking about a change of phones, I can highly recommend the Galaxy line.

Mine runs my entire life and does everything I need it to and sometimes more.

Samsung to release Galaxy S2 in U.S. next month

By Lee YoukyungSEOUL, July 20 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co. will release its flagship Galaxy S2 smartphone in the U.S. market next month, the chief of its mobile business division said Wednesday, a move that will likely pit the product against the forthcoming iPhone.

"We expect to release the Galaxy S2 in the U.S. market sometime in August," Shin Jong-kyun, president of Samsung's mobile business and digital imaging, told reporters at a media briefing.

In South Korea, Samsung launched the Galaxy S2, a faster, thinner and lighter version of its Galaxy S smartphone in April. The model, later released in Japan and Europe, recorded sales of 3 million units in less than two months of its debut.
